Sadaedang (English spelling)

Japanese: 事大党 - じだいとう（英語表記）Sadaedang

A political party in Korea at the end of the Joseon Dynasty (Yi Dynasty), also known as the Qing Dynasty. Its name comes from the fact that the party paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty after the reign of the 16th king, King Injo (reigned 1623-49). It was a conservative party centered around Queen Min and her faction, and most of the important officials joined this party. Based on large landowners, bureaucrats, and local Confucian scholars with Confucian ideology, it opposed Japan with the support of the Qing Dynasty and tried to maintain its power. After the Imo Incident (→ Gyeongseong Incident), the Qing Dynasty advanced and Japan retreated, but in the process, the Independence Party (enlightened and pro-Japanese) was formed. After that, there were successive power changes between the Sadae Party and the Independence Party amidst various incidents such as the Gapsin Coup (1884) and the Gabo Reforms (94), but the influence of the Sadae Party declined following the assassination of Queen Min (→ Eulmo Coup) (95).

Japanese:

朝鮮，朝鮮王朝 (李朝) 末期の政党，別名を清国党という。その由来は第 16代仁祖 (在位 1623～49) 代以後，清国に事大の礼を取ったことによる。王妃閔 (びん) 氏や閔氏一派を中心とした守旧派で，要路の大官の大部分がこの党に入った。儒教的イデオロギーをもった大地主，官僚，地方儒生を基盤とし，清国の支持のもとに日本と対抗し，その政権維持をはかった。その後，壬午の変 (→京城事変 ) で清の進出，日本の後退をみたが，その過程で独立党 (開化・親日派) ができた。以後，甲申の変 (1884) ，甲午の改革 (94) などの諸事変のなかで事大党と独立党の政権交代が相次いだが，「閔妃殺害事件 (→乙未事変 ) 」 (95) を契機に，事大党の党威は没落した。
